Forest sign goalkeeper Victor from Botafogo

Nottingham Forest have signed goalkeeper John Victor from Brazilian side Botafogo.

The 29-year-old has signed a three-year contract at the City Ground.

Forest have already signed Scotland international Angus Gunn on a free transfer, but boss Nuno Espirito Santo had always wanted to sign another keeper.

Victor has previously played for Santos in Brazil and also had a loan spell at Real Valladolid in Spain.

Chief football officer Ross Wilson said: "John has caught the attention of many clubs after some impressive seasons in Brazil, so we're pleased he has chosen Forest as his next step.

"Matz [Sels] had a standout season last year, and we also have Angus and young Aaron [Bott] in the group, meaning John joins a strong cohort of keepers that will push each other and will help each other improve.

"He arrives here hungry to make an impact and we're excited to welcome him."

Forest are also expected to complete the signing of left-back Cuiabano from Botafogo, meaning they have signed four from the Brazilian side this summer.

Striker Igor Jesus and defender Jair Cunha arrived in July for a combined total of about £20m.
